Ok, I get alot of this stuff:
Package vconfig has broken dep on kernel
Considering kernel-smp#2.6.3-2.1.253 0 as a solution to vconfig 2
Added kernel-smp#2.6.3-2.1.253 to the remove list
Considering kernel-smp#2.6.3-2.1.253 0 as a solution to vconfig 2
Added kernel-smp#2.6.3-2.1.253 to the remove list

Added kernel#2.6.3-2.1.253 to the remove list
Considering kernel#2.6.3-2.1.253 0 as a solution to vconfig 2
Added kernel#2.6.3-2.1.253 to the remove list
Continues...
Added kernel-smp#2.6.1-1.65 to the remove list
Considering kernel#2.6.1-1.65 2 as a solution to vconfig 2
Reinst Failed because of kernel-smp#2.6.3-2.1.253
Removing vconfig rather than change kernel
Investigating nautilus-media
Package nautilus-media has broken dep on libnautilus.so.2
Considering nautilus 300 as a solution to nautilus-media 2

Added kernel#2.6.3-2.1.253 to the remove list
And so on...
This is the native fedora kernel since I just did a clean install to
fc1. I did though run a apt-get upgrade from the fc1 updates. Should I
need to run upgrade from the fc2t1 repo?
